Copy a table from a PDF into Excel

How to do it

Tables usually paste into Excel as one long jumble. Copy as Table keeps the rows and columns.

Open the PDF and select the table by dragging across it.
Right-click and choose Copy as Table, or press Ctrl+Alt+C.
In Excel, click a cell and paste with Ctrl+V. Each column lands in its own cells.
